When are the HD motor supposed to hit the market it's been a while since I last heard that they were just around the corner?

I could have sworn that the Tekin Tech Guy said that the ROC rotor was 19mm and the Pro4 was 18 or 18.5. That was a while ago though.

Stormer shows 18.5 for the Pro4 and 19 for the ROC as well. I'm sure Randy can clarify.

I ran a 16 tooth and could make a 10 minute main with a Venom 4s 2500mah 50C pack. No specific temps but I could hold my hand on the motor.
I also used to run a Neu 1509 1800kv motor on my Losi SCTE with the same battery, could get 12 minutes before cutoff (3.5v a cell). That motor was 135 at the end of 12 minutes. Bigger diameter motor so not a direct comparison but still good info.

Obviously this is a gray area and subject to opinion, but I feel that by running an 8th scale motor you've gone past bending the rules. If we want to keep calling this a 10th scale class then some things need to stay (relatively) small. Motors and battery dimensions are the two biggies.

I don't want my HV addiction to cause a severe weight penalty.

I'll let you guys know more as soon as I can, they will be available soon.

What about these new Pro4 motors make them a better choice than a ROC?

A 3400mah 4 cell won't weigh any more than a 6800mah 2 cell(in fact it will be the same size).... and should run at least as long, if not longer.

I was responding to the T8 motor recommendation.

I know the pack i will put in the truck is as close as possible to the weight of the servo esc and motor.

I was thinking about the weight thing and the suggestion of 8th scale electronics (motor, battery) and had a simple idea about keeping the class "10th scale". Basically, it's just using the size rules already in place for the motors and using the 2s lipo pack size rule but removing the voltage limit. Most 2s packs are already 2s2p so making them a 4s1p is a no-brainer. A-Main already does this with their Protek packs (2s 7000 and a 4s 3500) so it can be done.

+1; a weight and/or size limit is all that we need. Of course some companies would need to catch up with motors and ESCs, and put stronger HV BECs in there.

That's about the most sensible thing anyone has said on this subject.
